One key concept to understand is that Abraham and his cohort were not the high intellectuals of modern ear but were pre-Bedouin tribals living in the high desert. Their ideas were from tribal religious and social customs. The ideas are those of nomadic wanderers and are an anathema to settled people. The one god, the simplistic rituals all were ment to adapt to the wanderer life style. His followers preserved their exclusiveness by confining it to birth admitting only few converts.
Paul took this idea by Judaising the Greco-Roman civilization. He and his followers created the New Testament and usurped the jewsih Old Testament. Muhammed took the idea to Judaize the rest of the Bedouins and others by conquest. He replaced the Moses Ten commnadments with the five pillars of Islam and the Torah with the Koran. Marx extended the Judaization to ideas by replacing God with his ideal classless society and Torah with the Das Kapital.
The Romans crucified Jesus in 32 AD but in 300 years they all became Christians!
